Introduction
Ecuador
is one the planet’s top 17 most biologically diverse nations
in the WORLD.
The
nation’s drastic geographic and climatic variations have led to evolution
of thousands of species of flora and fauna. Despite its tiny size, Ecuador
is home to rain
forests, jungles, mountains, islands,
deserts, valleys, and snowcapped
peaks. One of its main attractions is the Galapagos Archipelago
and its marine reserve, which contain endemic species unique to the area. Ecuador
boasts approximately 1,640 species of birds.
Ecuador is a multiethnic and multicultural nation. It has a population of more
than 12.6 million. Of these, five and a half million live in the highlands. Six
and a half million of Ecuador’s inhabitants live on the Pacific coast.
The Amazon region is home to more than six hundred thousand inhabitants and nearly
seventeen thousand live in the Galapagos Islands. More than 14 indigenous
groups live on the Ecuadorian mainland, maintaining their own traditions
and ways of life.
